About The Blog

"Arthor" comprises "art" + "Author" while "Journer" defines the journey that I was on and continue to travel.

In this blog is the emotional byproduct of this journey.

"Rites of Art" is the title because it is my "writes" of passage.

In the Company of Whispers and Vespers

Whispers fade into the darkness of nightTheir words are sharp and far from innocentTheir echoes bait for those with souls to biteVespers that offer borders to fill or ventThe breeze swells and the sky makes no noiseOur breath expands and fills atmospheresHours pass yet there are no paths to proposeThough the light reveals our fearsCycle of the earth cause our thoughts to roam

Seas bring waves carrying phrases from miles away

The emotions lost and cannot find a place to call homeSickles though too far to cut weeds that choke our dayThe roots of yesterday’s dreams feed fierce foesFor our love has no fertile soil to giveFour directions our love swiftly flowsThough each has lost the will to liveWhispers reverberate against the walls we constructedHere where our love innocently beganHere the vile songs that remains unobstructedVespers that condemn and don’t dissipate but remain
